Karakura Fire: A not so fresh start to the year Special greetings! Rosalie Martin reporting here on the recent divulge. On January 4th only a few short days after the new years festival, Students return, starting the new year in a not so fresh way.

1/3/2022 Heng Yu Goood evening Karakura! This is Heng Yu with another weekly report. This week we'll be talking about how badly the animals around Karakura are being treated and how to stop it. This report will summarise what exactly goes on (from personal experiences) to a guide on how to adopt stray pets!

These are some of the various issues we have when it comes to Karakura wildlife. It’s not that these issues are impossible to fix, in fact, is quite the opposite. Fixing this issue...
